I surely would agee with you, as in anything in life, not all show breeders are reputable, what would sent the difference between some than just shows and breeds and a reputable show breeder, was the breeding done with full knowledge of the possibility of Leggs Perthes. If not, and it did ocurr, is she being responsible and standing behind you, money back, helping with the surgery....etc. Things can happen in any breeders program, show or not. And any breeder that says they've never had a problem is not being honest. It's how they handle the problem, if problems do occur.
